Plug-In Pendants

Prefer the look and lighting effect of a pendant but lack the hardwiring it requires? If you live in a rental apartment without the proper electrical source, a temporary space that’s too costly to wire, or a historical home where it’s impossible to create an opening in the wall or ceiling you may worry you’re out of luck.

Its deconstructed design is a delicate sculptural form that separates the LED light source from a series of shades to produce gradations of diffuse illumination. It appears to hover overhead like a bird in flight, its plug providing a grounded counterpoint to the feeling of weightlessness.

Levy’s aim was to visually connect the floor and ceiling without wiring the walls, placing light exactly where needed. Composed of three separate pieces—a triangular aluminum shade with an LED-powered light source, a slender carbon fiber stem and a counterweight on the ground that connects to the electrical cable—it represents a dynamic system of adjustable parts.

Light is at the foundation of space design. Alongside architects, interior designers, lighting designers, engineers and dealers, we aim to improve the world through a single aspiration: creating better spaces to live.
